Eric Bledsoe (left shin bruise) will not play against the Bobcats on Friday.

He said that swelling is an issue and still had a limp today. Bledsoe pulled himself out of Friday's shootaround and said he wants to let it heal. This will be his third consecutive game on the sidelines and Gerald Green will get the start. In his five starts at shooting guard, Green has averages of 18.2 points, 1.2 blocks, 0.8 steals and 3.6 triples. Anyone that owns him should put him in the lineup.

Jeff Teague, Al Horford, and DeMarre Carroll will return to the starting lineup for Tuesday's game vs. Houston.

The Hawks will go with their regular starters after having the aforementioned players rested during Saturday's game against the Heat. Teague's return to the starting lineup will send Dennis Schroder back to the bench, and his value will take a sizable hit. Make sure you have Teague in your active lineups, despite tonight's tough matchup with the Rockets.

McGee is due to clear waivers on Wednesday, and we'll be following this story closely. So far the Mavs and Heat have been reported to have interest in acquiring McGee's services, but the sense is that there are more teams out there also intrigued by McGee. To be clear, we don't expect him to offer any fantasy value to owners in most leagues regardless of where he lands.

Kelly Olynyk (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game vs. the Cavs.

With Olynyk unavailable, Brandon Bass, Tyler Zeller, and Jonas Jerebko will continue to man Boston's frontcourt, with Bass and Zeller offering the most upside. Boston plays at home against Utah on Wednesday, and we'll be considering Olynyk questionable for that one.

Nick Young (knee) will remain sidelined for Tuesday's game vs. the Hornets.

This will be Young's fourth consecutive game on the sidelines, and with him out, there will be more opportunities on offense for Wayne Ellington, Jeremy Lin, and Wes Johnson. The Lakers play again on Wednesday vs. Miami, and we'll be considering Young questionable for that one.

Kevin Love (illness) is headed for a game-time decision for Tuesday's matchup with the Celtics.

Love was previously listed as probable despite not being able to go through Tuesday morning's shootaround, but he’s now looking at a game-time decision. If he's unable to go, Tristan Thompson would likely slide into the starting lineup, and he's be worth a look as a plug-and-play option in daily leagues. LeBron James, Kyrie Irving, and J.R. Smith would also have more opportunities on offense. Stay tuned.

The Mavericks are reportedly "seriously interested" in signing JaVale McGee.

While the Mavericks have significant interest in McGee, it's being reported that the list of interested teams stretches well beyond Dallas, which is a rather strange sentence to write. McGee couldn't earn significant minutes playing for the 76ers, so he's going to have difficulty leaving the bench on an actual championship contender. We'll be monitoring this situation closely, but he won't have any fantasy value in standard leagues regardless of where he lands.

Anthony Davis (shoulder) has been upgraded to questionable for Wednesday's game vs. the Pistons.

Davis was able to go through contact drills during Tuesday's practice, so it's looking like there's a decent chance he's able to return to action on Wednesday. However, if he's unable to go on Wednesday, his next opportunity to play will come Friday vs. Boston, and then Saturday vs. Memphis. We'll continue to monitor this situation closely, but when Davis does return to the court, Alexis Ajinca's value will take a sizable hit. Stay tuned.

Tyler Johnson (ankle) did not participate during Tuesday's practice, but he is expected to play Wednesday vs. the Lakers.

Johnson is experiencing some soreness in his left ankle after a hard fall during Monday's physical game against the Suns, but the injury is not expected to cause Johnson to miss any action. "It's been better," Johnson said of his ankle. "I walked out [Monday] and it was really painful. I came out and got some treatment. It's only getting better." Johnson is coming off a career-high 26 point outing, but we'd like to see a similar performance before recommending him as an add in standard leagues.

Hassan Whiteside expressed his regret on Tuesday for wrestling with Alex Len during Monday's game against the Suns.

"I regret doing that," Whiteside said. "That was the first time. Violence is not the answer. That's what it was. I just felt like [Len] was frustrated with as many as dunks that I did on him." Whiteside will likely be suspended for Wednesday's game against the Lakers, leaving Udonis Haslem, Michael Beasley, and Chris Andersen to man Miami's frontcourt.

Chandler Parsons (ankle) will travel with the Mavs on their upcoming three-game road trip.

Parsons will be traveling with the team, but head coach Rick Carlisle said he's unsure of his availability for Thursday's game vs. the Trail Blazers. We'll be considering him questionable, and if he's unable to go, Richard Jefferson will have another game with the starting unit.
